Several types of recipes use Cajun Stewed Tomatoes as one of their ingredients. I, MawMaw, do use the Rotel Brand Tomatoes which adds wonderful flavor to the majority of the Cajun dishes I prepare. In fact, www.chef2chef.com commented that "Mexican-style stewed tomatoes (Rotel)may be substituted for Cajun-style".
Another alternative for Cajun Stewed Tomatoes is to take Delmonte's new product, New Del Monte Diced Tomatoes with Mushroom and Garlic, and add a small can of diced green chili in it. Or.......Since Cajun stewed tomatoes have the "Cajun Trinity" in it - chopped bell peppers, onions and green onions, along with some garlic and some seasoning, it would be easy enough to create your own. If you are adventurous and want to create your own, try this recipe I got from www.southernfood.about.com
This would be great for the bumper crop of tomatoes most people have in the summer. |
